Following on from the success of last year’s quiz for new students (see Vision Quiz Winners) we are running it again this year – but this time we have gone global giving students on all campuses the chance to take part while they explore the services we offer both globally and locally.

It’s quick, it’s easy – and it gives prizes…

Get all the answers correct and you will be entered into a prize draw with 3 lucky winners drawn from each campus.

The quiz is in Vision (our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)) in the Skills for Success organization.

Blackboard, the software which underpins our VISION Virtual Learning Environment, will be upgraded on Saturday 25th June between 1 am and 2 pm BST (you can check your local time at http://bit.ly/28Jy5rA)
